The Smartest Way to Scale Your Financial Team: Fractional CFO + Bookkeeping Support

Written by Gauvreau Accounting Tax Law Advisory | Nov 18, 2025

 

 

As your business grows, so do your financial needs. You start realizing that spreadsheets and part-time admin support just won’t cut it anymore—but hiring a full-time in-house financial team can feel like a big (and expensive) leap.

That’s where fractional financial support becomes a smart and scalable solution.

Why Hiring One Full-Time Resource Isn’t Always the Best Move

Many business owners assume their next step is to hire a mid-level financial manager or in-house bookkeeper—someone who can “do it all.” But here’s the challenge:

  • A full-time financial manager at $70,000–$80,000 per year may not have the expertise to advise you on high-level financial strategy.

  • A traditional bookkeeper may handle the day-to-day, but won’t be equipped to help you make proactive, CEO-level decisions.

  • And hiring a full-time CFO at $250,000+ is unrealistic for most small to mid-sized businesses.

So how do you get the financial expertise you need—without overcommitting on cost?

The Hybrid Model That Delivers More Value

Instead of hiring one internal financial resource, consider a hybrid model: Fractional CFO + Fractional Bookkeeper.

With this model, you get:

  • High-level strategic support from a seasoned CFO

  • Day-to-day financial management from an experienced bookkeeper

  • More flexibility and a lower overall investment than hiring a full-time employee

  • A fully integrated financial system that scales with your business growth

You gain access to the same financial intelligence and operational clarity as larger companies—without the full-time salary burden.

Scalable Support for Every Stage of Growth

The best part? Both bookkeeping and CFO services can scale with your business. Start small, and as your revenue and complexity grow, your financial team grows alongside you—without having to rebuild your internal structure every time.

This model gives you what you actually need at every stage: accurate, up-to-date books + executive-level financial guidance.

Maximize ROI on Your Financial Investment

If you’re focused on driving profit, streamlining systems, and making strategic growth decisions, a Fractional CFO paired with strong bookkeeping is one of the smartest investments you can make.

You get:

  • Better reporting

  • Stronger forecasting

  • Confident decision-making

  • And a clear financial path to your goals
